Galaxy Note

Large Android phone

Galaxy Note is a line of large-screen smartphones and tablets made by Samsung, introduced in 2011.

The devices popularized the "phablet" category—screens too big for traditional phones but smaller than tablets—and featured a stylus called the S Pen.

The Note 7 became infamous for battery fires that led to a global recall: They banned Galaxy Notes from flights after the explosions.
